Workflow of the System RWC will raise a ticket issue and evaluate the issue All users can raise new issue/ticket RWC close the ticket if the issue disappeared RWC decide to raise an incident RWC change status and wait for proposed solution In some cases, RWC can escalate an incident, e.g. no response from NFP NFP receive the ticket and acknowledge that NFP proposes the solution NFP provides regular updates NFP informs RWC about the incident rectification RWC validates the NFP proposal and updates the status RWC put a ticket to won t fix if any incident seems can not be resolved RWC can reopen a closed ticket RWC put back a ticket from wo t fix to in progress if a resolve action identified RWC to confirm that incident has been resolved RWC close the ticket if incident has been resolved 2
Users role WDQMS NFPs (Members) Monitoring Centres RWCs Issue new ticket Issue new ticket Issue new ticket Update the ticket status into incident, under investigation, in progress, resolved, won t fix, or escalated Add comments to the ticket, as necessary Propose resolve actions through comments Add comments to the ticket, as necessary Close ticket Reopen a closed ticket
Fields for new issue OPEN Several information must be filled in to create a new issue including: Project*: Incident Management System for RWC Issue type*: issue (by default) Summary*: a brief explanation of issues raised using this format: ddmmyyyy-country-station/location-issue example: 21102020-Botswana-Ghanzi-no data received If more than one station of a country show the same non-compliance, station/location could be typed e.g. three stations or stations *mandatory fields 5
Fields for new issue cont. Reporter: by default according to the account logged in (can be any user) Assignee (only appear in RWCs account): at the beginning, it will automatically be assigned to RWC, RWC should assign this ticket to Member (NFP) if RWC has decided to raise the ticket as incident Component: RWC being responsible for this station Description: Details concerning the issue Priority: priority level according to the Technical Guidelines for RWC on the WDQMS (Annex 2) OPEN 6
Fields for new issue (cont) OPEN Linked issues: if the issue is related with any previous issues WIGOS ID*: WIGOS Station Identifier (WSI) registered in OSCAR/surface. If more than one station is reported in this ticket, use one of their WSI (details about the other WSIs will go into the Description field) WIGOS issue category: Type of observation: surface or upper air, Category performance: availability, quality or timeliness 7
Incident Process Initiation One of the two options must be performed by RWCs when receiving new ticket according to their evaluation: 1. Convert the ticket into incident . If it is decided to raise an issue into an incident, RWC must assign this incident to specific Member (NFP) 2. Decide no incident for the ticket, the issue has been resolved or has disappeared without further action taken by the RWC CLOSED INCIDENT CLOSED 8
RWC's response to the new ticket If decided to be raised as incident RWC edit critical details of the ticket if needed, and add detailed description can correct/ If decided to raise an incident, ticket must be assigned to relevant NFP/ Member Requesting additional information from reporter as needed If decided as no incident because issue disappeared more 9
Receipt confirmation and action proposal from Members To make the RWC aware that the country has taken over the task of following up the incident, NFP/ Member must acknowledge the incident. RWC will confirm the ticket when receive acknowledgement from NFP Potential comments should be added to the ticket NFP should continuously update the ticket status. On the other hand, RWC regulary request update to NFP If there is no confirmation from NFP, RWC should contact NFP using other media (e.g. email). RWC escalate the incident to a WMO Secretariat, that will bring it a higher level (e.g. PR) if necessary UNDER INVESTIGATION IN PROGRESS ESCALATED 10
Confirm the ticket when receive acknowledgement from NFP RWCs confirms the ticket into under investigation 11
Review and validate action proposal added by Members RWC receives action proposal added by Member 12
Incident Rectification If the incident has been rectified by the country , NFP to inform RWC The RWC will check whether the incident ticket can be closed or has to be kept open due to ongoing non-compliance and underperformance compared to the WDQMS performance targets In the case of ongoing non-compliance, the RWC will ask the NFP to take further actions RESOLVED 13
Wont fix incident WON T FIX it might be found that an incident cannot be rectified because no (immediate) action can be taken In this case, the RWC should put the incident into the log of Won tfix RWC and/or NFP regularly monitor the incident put in Won tfix and whenever it is found that an action can be taken to rectify the incident, RWC bring the ticket back to inprogress . 14
Incident rectification or won t fix incident If an incident cannot be rectified because no (immediate) action can be taken If the incident has been rectified 15
